A good general medical reference on the internet is the Mayo Clinic for news on diseases, treatments, drugs and diet.

I had sinus infections frequently after moving to Seattle. They would last for weeks, until I used antibiotics from a physician.  Now I cleanse my nose using a Neti pot and don’t have sinus infections.

Consider putting a garlic clove in the Neti pot water. Use distilled or sterile water.  Another water option that I use is boiling water for about five minutes and allow to cool before using in Neti pot. I boil the water in a separate container.

Let the garlic clove soak in the water.  Consider using this mild garlic water and sea salt in the Neti pot if you have a sinus infection. This has helped me when I had sinus infections.  I don’t use garlic for typical nasal congestion. I haven’t used garlic for years.

As always, a disclaimer.  This is not medical advice.  Please consult with your doctor before using a Neti pot or garlic cloves. If you have sinus congestion, try a Neti pot.
